I have used dbScripter a lot for this kind of work. It is definitely NOT necessary to own Access to use it. One of its nice features is its database profiles. These function as data and syntax translation tables. For example, if a column type doesn't exist in the target, substitute another column type. It only took a small amount of experimentation to create a MySQL profile, and using that I have frequently moved databases from SQL 2000, Oracle and Access to MySQL. dbScripter will work fine with virtually any ODBC-compliant back end.

The original poster, if I read *him* correctly, wants a way to read Access DB files and turn them into MySQL files -- but without having to have MS Access. That would be my desire if I ever had to touch an MS Access file, since I don't have Access almost don't run Windows at all. Did I misunderstand anyone?
